1. How far is a 10K run? How about a 5K?

6.2 miles and 3.1 miles respectively.

2. How do I get a key for the Jacobs Park tennis courts?

Tennis players may purchase a key for $10 at the Community Services office in the Yucca Valley Community Center. The key permits access for as long as you own the key. Keys may not be sold back to the Town at a later date.

3. What do the adult softball league fees cover?

The fees help to pay for the umpire, lights, balls, scorekeeping, awards, and field preparation.

4. Are the buses used on the adult trips fees wheel chair accessible?

Yes, and wheel chairs are stored under the bus.

5. Does my son or daughter need to “try out” to be placed on a Youth Basketball team?

No. All participants who register for the league will be placed on a team. However, there will be a “player evaluation” activity each season, before players are placed on a team. This activity will allow the coaches to evaluate players who may perform at different skill levels. It is recommended that your child participate in the player evaluation, to help ensure that teams are as fair and balanced as possible.

6. Where will the Youth Basketball practices be held? How often? What times?

Practices will be held at the Boys & Girls Club, La Contenta Middle School, Evangelical Free Church Gym, or other school gymnasiums and possibly an outdoor court. Practices could be conducted on any weekday, or weekend, depending on your coaches personal schedule. Each team will be allowed one hour practices at a maximum of twice per week. If you find that this is not the case, please call the recreation staff as soon as possible so that we may rectify the situation. Practice times vary from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.

7. In the Youth Basketball program, will my child play in each game?

Yes. Each player will play a minimum of 4 to 5 consecutive minutes (depending on the age division) in the first three or four quarters (also depending on age division). Substitutions will be called half way through the quarter for the sole purpose of meeting the minimum play rule. There are exceptions. At the discretion of your coach, your child may not be allowed to participate if he/she has not been attending practices, is not healthy, has displayed a poor attitude, etc.
